Phurba is a three-sided Tibetan ritual dagger or stake. The Tibetan meaning of the word phurba refers to a stake used for tying or a peg used to secure a tent. While other similarly shaped objects can be considered phurba, it is usually a knife with three distinct segments, one of which is a distinctive three-sided blade or point. The segments and triple blade represent the three spiritual worlds, while the phurba as a whole symbolizes the \"axis mundi,\" uniting all three worlds. This ritual Buddhist dagger or dart symbolizes the slaying or destruction of an enemy or obstacle. This ritual object is typically made from various types of clay, wood, metal, or human or monkey bone, or a combination thereof. It is considered a powerful element for exorcising evil spirits. However, wood and bone are also used and often required for certain ritual events. The lower part of the blade is said to represent \"Method,\" and the handle, \"Wisdom.\" These two objects were vital to the survival of people in these regions. The phurba is modeled after an ancient Vedic instrument, a stake used to tie sacrificial animals. It is also considered a powerful weapon that subdues evil spirits and negative energies, transforming them into positive forces.
